Because the police allegiance to the old one seems to have gone!!!Nup.
A waste of time and money buggering around suggesting a new one let alone actually mandating we have a new one.
Why bother....
YOU ARE A LONG TIME DEAD!! ENJOY LIFE WHILE YOU HAVE IT!!

The current one isn't broken.

Speaking as a Pom.....feel free to change it, it's your flag after all. It looks a bit too much like the Aussie one for me, and yes, you don't really need the Union Jack on it anymore do you. Just please don't pick the All Blacks silver fern thingy - surely New Zealand is more than a rugby team. What's wrong with the United Tribes of NZ flag?

"Going to war under the flag" is a bit of a myth.
The current national flag has only been official since 1902, so that takes out any association with the Boer War and earlier conflicts.
WW1, if flags were involved they would most probably have been UK flags.
WW2, many New Zealand servicemen, particularly aircrew in Europe, flew for the RAF or Fleet Air Arm, so again no NZ flag to "fight under" for those gallant folk.
Canadians changed their flag in 1965 to their current model. Canadian regiments have considerably more rigorous pride in their combat history than those of many other nations, as the battles of Vimy Ridge and Juno Beach will attest, and were still able to make the switch to a new ensign more fittingly representing their national identity than the colonial cloth it replaced.

Will changing the flag make us patriotic?
if we go with a new flag, it would have to Incorporate parts of these two flags, who we now Pledge our Allegiance too. well almost.
why fix something that ain't broke
Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

We need to spend millions on a new flag to supposedly reflect our identity (when the majority don't have any problem with the present one)... but we'll still keep spending millions on royal visits too and keep the Queen as our head of state.
If it's going to be anything else it should be the original flag Aotearoa had back in 1835:
But that would cause too much butthurt to many Pakeha.

Plus it looks fucking ugly.

Think you'll find it was a NZ military symbol before being adopted by most national sports teams.
And it's probably the single most recognised and respected Kiwi icon, whereas the antecedents of the bastardised blue ensign have little to do with NZ.
